Endless tents have been laid on the vacant land north of the Taxation Administration, stretching for more than tens of thousands of miles, with the first batch of migrants south reaching Qiantang County, with more than 20 officials coming with them. Although Hangzhou local officials and court officials have made every effort, this short-term large population migration still brings huge pressure to Qiantang County. Rents have risen, prices have soared, and various public security cases have also risen one after another, causing the people of Qiantang County to complain.

In the big tent area, there were noisy people everywhere. Several men set up small tables beside the big tent to have a drink and talked about future plans. Two women in the distance quarreled over trivial matters. A group of children ran happily between the big tents. A team of patrol soldiers walked through the big tents. Two quarreling women quickly pulled the soldiers to judge.

More than a dozen public toilets were built far away, and more than 100,000 people went south to bring serious challenges to epidemic prevention. Disinfection lime spilled the paths in the large tent, making the entire camp full of the pungent smell of quicklime.

Li Yanqing accompanied a group of officials to inspect the camp area. He originally planned to inspect the states, but the huge pressure brought by the capital was that he could not stay out of the matter and had to continue to stay in Qiantang County.

Wei Feng said worriedly: "Master Li, I just got the news that another 80,000 people crossed the river to Runzhou. I am afraid Qiantang County will face greater pressure."

Li Yanqing frowned, "Are these 80,000 people all the people of Bianliang?"

"I'm afraid some are, some are not, and it's hard to tell at the moment."

According to the initial plan set by the court, Qiantang County only accepted the people of Tokyo Bianliang. However, in fact, the people in the entire Central Plains were retreating south. It is human nature to seek profit and avoid harm. Everyone wants to go to Qiantang County, Xindu, so it is difficult to distinguish the government. Moreover, the people have already arrived in Qiantang County, so it is not easy to drive them away by force. After all, moving the capital south is still a little too hasty.

This matter can only be done in a profitable way, so that the people feel that going to other places is profitable, and then gradually leaving. Forcibly driving away can only intensify the contradictions.

Now the people who moved south can only continue to accept it. Thinking of this, Li Yanqing pondered for a while and asked Cao Yan: "How many tents are there in the warehouse?"

Cao Yan shook his head and said, "There are not many anymore. I will go to count this morning, and there are about 3,000 more."

Li Yanqing turned around and said to Liu Qi: "The army will withdraw from the Jiangning Prefecture camp tomorrow, just leave 5,000 new troops here, and all the cavalry will be withdrawn."

Liu Qi understood the general's concern. Once the court arrived in Qiantang County, it was likely to adapt the Jingzhao Army into an imperial guards, and the main force of the Jingzhao Army must be withdrawn as soon as possible.

He nodded, "Prepare for me and I will withdraw tomorrow."

Li Yanqing smiled and said to Cao Yan again: "The Northwest Camp can station 5,000 troops. I will leave 5,000 soldiers to help the government maintain order. The main force of the army will retreat north to Jiangning Prefecture. There are ready-made military camps on Jiangning Prefecture, so that 10,000 large tents can be freed up and given to you to resettle the people."

Cao Yan thought to himself that 10,000 yuan of large accounts was still not enough, and the problem could not be fundamentally solved.

"Master, where is the imperial court now?"

Li Yanqing smiled and said, "I received a quick letter this morning. The fleet of the imperial court and the officials have arrived in Yangzhou. In addition to the palace people, officials, family members, guards, and army, there are about 50,000 people."

Cao Yan's face changed. How can he place so many people?

He hurriedly said, "Although the palace has been completed and palace maids, eunuchs and guards can live in the palace, what should the officials and the army do?"

Li Yanqing thought for a while and said, "The army can solve the problem. They brought their own tents. The trouble is, there are about 400 officials, and there are about two or three thousand people in the family. We have to solve their residence."

Wei Wen said carefully: "Maybe there is no need to solve the residences of so many people. I have counted it before. Many high-ranking officials have actually bought land and built houses in Qiantang County. There are about a hundred people. If they are removed, there are actually only two or three hundred middle- and low-level officials. Otherwise, they can only rent a house for the time being."

"But are there so many empty rooms in the city?" Li Yanqing asked.

"I think of a way, I should be able to get it together."

Li Yanqing nodded, "I will leave this matter to you. The county government will come forward to book the empty house first, and then consider renting private houses after the officials are settled."

"I understand, I will handle this matter personally."

Li Yanqing said to Cao Yan again: "It is a bit unrealistic to rely on the government to solve housing. If there are rich families who are willing to spend money to buy land and build houses, then that's fine. I suggest that some slightly remote land can be auctioned first and divided into a size of acre. The land price can be slightly cheaper, but each household can only buy one acre of land to build houses at most. I believe that many people are willing to spend money to buy land and build houses, so that at least 30% of the residents can be diverted. The remaining people who cannot afford the land can rent public housing."

Cao Yan nodded, "I also think so. Tents cannot withstand so many people. They must find a way to divert land. Selling land is a good way, but what should I do? Does Taiwei have any ideas?"

Li Yanqing pointed to the north with a horse whip, "The north city wall expanded to Huantang River, and the official has agreed that he can first sell the land near the Huancheng River, and then use the money from selling the land to build the city wall. As for the price, you can refer to the land prices of nearby counties, such as Yuhang County and Xiaoshan County, which can be 30% higher than the land price there, and sell 30,000 acres first."

Wei Wen said again: "As Taiwei said just now, each household can only buy one acre of land, and there are many loopholes to exploit. Some big families will destroy households. In addition, many non-Tokyo residents will also participate in buying land, which is inconsistent with the regulations of the court. The meaning of humble post is that there are restrictions? In addition, how do shops count? It is unrealistic for many shops to have one acre of land, like taverns and inns, at least two or three acres of land."

Li Yanqing shook his head, "You don't have to worry about where you are from buying land. Just take out the money. In addition, each household is limited to one acre of land, and it is changed to each household that can purchase one acre of land at a fair price. The price of the second acre will double, but it cannot exceed three acres at most. The number of people per household shall be based on the record of the Ministry of Revenue in Xuanhe for six years. The temporary demolition of households will not be recognized. As for the shops along the street for the time being, only residential land will be sold now. Houses must be built immediately after the land is sold. If the beam is not erected three months later, the government has the right to take back the land."

"This may require a little measurement before dividing the land, and it will take at least ten days to prepare."

"There is no problem with the preparation time, but you can release the wind first, the government can register and identify it first, or collect a deposit of fifty taels of silver first, and get the number according to the order of payment. Those who pay the money first can choose the land first, and then use the pre-collected silver to start building the city wall."

Everyone discussed for a while and finally made a charter, led by the state yamen and implemented it together with the county yamen.

......

The land sale notice was quickly posted throughout the city. The land in the old city of Qiantang County had already been sold out. Although the county town had twice expanded, half of the expansion of the city in the south was reserved for the imperial court and was not sold to the outside world. The land after the expansion of the city in the north had long been stolen, making it difficult to find a place in Qiantang County at present. Therefore, when the news of the state government's decision to sell new land came out, a stone suddenly caused a thousand sensation, and the people in the city were discussing this land sale.

There was a queue at the gate of the state yamen. The queue lasted for several miles, and everyone was rushing to pay the deposit. Interestingly, most of the people queuing were locals, and the people who moved south were a little slower because they were not familiar with the situation.

At noon, Li Yanqing returned to his house to have tea with his family. He had not been with his family at noon for many years. Naturally, he gave the tea and split tea to Shishi. Her tea art was also well-known in Tokyo back then, and his family unanimously recommended her to make tea for everyone.

Hu Qing'er acted as a temporary tea boy, responsible for boiling water. While boiling water, she smiled at everyone and said, "I found that the water quality in Qiantang County is much better than that in Kaifeng Prefecture, and even the well water in the county is better than the spring water in Meishan, Kaifeng Prefecture."

"Clean Qing'er can still distinguish water?" Li Yanqing asked in surprise.

"Brother underestimates me!" Hu Qing'er gave Li Yanqing a blank look and said angrily: "Although I don't know how to order tea, I still understand the most basic water quality. The water is obviously less scale than Tokyo's, and the taste is sweet and moist. Can't I even tell this?"

"Then I'll test you, where is the best spring water in Qiantang County?"

Hu Qing'er scratched her head and looked at Shishi as if she was asking for help. Shishi shook her head and smiled, "I really don't know."

At this time, Zhao Fujin, who was sitting aside, whispered: "It should be the most famous Ruishiquan in the White Horse Temple in Phoenix Mountain!"

"Official, is Fu Jin right?" Cao Yun asked with a smile.

Li Yanqing nodded, "It is indeed the most famous Ruishiquan. The water from Fengle Tower is taken from Ruishiquan. However, after the official and the inner palace moved here, the Ruishiquan water will not be supplied to the public. It is for the royal family. Fengle Tower can only use Longjingquan."

Shishi divided the first cup of tea and brought it to Li Yanqing, smiling slightly, "The water I used is Hupao Spring from Dinghui Temple in Daci Mountain. I think it is no worse than Ruishi Spring. Husband might as well try it."

Li Yanqing picked up the tea bowl and savored it gently, and immediately praised: "The fragrance is clear and fragrant, it is indeed a good water and tea!"
